Forecaster Kgolofelo Mahlangu says the heat wave is expected to last until Sunday in most parts of the country.
“So it is pretty normal temperatures to experience around this time of the year. Remember we are now in the spring season, late spring and soon we will be going into summer. So these kinds of temperatures are quiet normal.”
